A would-be thief Wednesday morning might have thought he had a foolproof plan to rob for robbing money from a Near-Northside convenience-store ATM machine - crash a pickup truck through the front of the store, attach the machine to a towing strap, yank it from its moorings and drive away.

The suspect completed the first step, according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report, by crashing a blue 1994 Chevrolet pickup into the Marathon gas station at 710 E. 30th St. shortly before 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. today.
